What was the whole towel issue @Total-Football ?

Why were they stealing Nigerian and Senegalese keepers towels?
It's done so GKs couldn't dry their gloves. Some dirty trick and during the final it was pouring down so drying had to be done regularly.

I only saw live Senegal walking out (during Barca's game) and thought that was a disgrace, but reading now there's more than that. Anyway the refs should've intervened and they did nothing. Even people in suits (stadium admin, I suppose) were chasing towels. Is this the AFCON final or Bolivian league match?

Apparently it was stadium staff trying to steal the towels? Makes it even worse. And it happened in a match against Nigeria before as well.

Just confused at Total-Football claiming Morrocco was setting good standards for tournament organization, but not commeting on that.
